Most of Discayas’ luxury cars have unpaid duties, taxes - BOC
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has confirmed that most of the 28 luxury cars linked to the Discaya family have no records of paid duties and taxes, raising strong suspicions of smuggling.
BOC Deputy Chief of Staff Chris Bendijo stated that doubtful import entries and lacking documents strongly presume the items are smuggled.
The bureau warned that the vehicles could be impounded if proven to have unpaid duties and taxes, but those with proper documentation could be released immediately.
Customs will investigate how some of the luxury cars were released if they have unpaid taxes and how they were registered with the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
Bendijo added that anyone within the BOC found to have a responsibility in the smuggling or registration using fake documents will also be held accountable.
